Checkout Manager - PAK'nSAVE Rolleston

We’re getting ready to open the doors to our brand-new PAK’nSAVE in Rolleston – and we’re looking for an experienced & passionate Checkouts Manager, 2IC & Supervisor to lead our Checkouts team.  

This is a rare opportunity to be part of something special from day one – helping shape a store that’s proudly committed to becoming the best low-cost supermarket in New Zealand, serving one of the country’s fastest-growing communities with great value and great service. 

Click Apply, attach your CV, and tell us a bit about yourself – including your availability. We’ll begin shortlisting shortly and will hold interviews later this month. Keep an eye on your junk/spam folder in case our emails land there.

As our Checkout Manager, you’ll help create a checkout experience that’s fast, friendly, and full of positive energy. You’ll take the lead – planning the day, supporting the team, and making sure every customer leaves with a smile.

In this role, you’ll: 

• Coach your team through busy shifts while setting high standards for speed, accuracy, and service
• Create a positive, people-first environment where great teamwork and great customer experiences go hand in hand
• Manage rosters, breaks, and daily operations to keep the front-end running smoothly
• Support team development and performance with clear expectations and day-to-day leadership 

As our Checkout 2IC or Checkout Supervisor, you’ll help coach your team through busy shifts, keeping service sharp and customers happy. You’ll be across the detail, ready to jump in wherever needed to keep the checkout area running smoothly and the service flowing.

In these roles, you’ll: 

• Be hands-on across the lanes, supporting staff, solving problems, and helping the department stay on track.
• Support the team with day-to-day leadership, helping maintain pace, accuracy and great service
• Be a go-to for questions, guidance and support during busy trading periods

Both roles will include working either a Saturday or Sunday shift and start dates will be staggered in the lead-up to our October opening. We’ll confirm hours & dates with successful applicants before offering a role.   

We’re after experienced leaders who bring energy, structure and accountability to their teams. Ideally, you’ll: 

• Have proven experience in a similar department leadership, 2IC or supervisory role (preferably in a supermarket or FMCG setting)
• Be confident managing staff, stock, suppliers and compliance requirements
• Know how to create a team culture built on trust, performance and service
• Be well-organised, approachable, and calm under pressure
• Understand the importance of food safety, stock control and customer expectations
